Do liberal women really want a world of genital mutilation, burkas, stoning, dead suicide bombing children. sharia law. etc? Guilt drives these basically good folks to be stupid beyond belief.

That's why multi-culturalism as practiced is full of denial and affectation. The multi-culturalists literally can have no position when regarding another society that is not multi-cultural in return, but is homocidally mono-cultural. If they accept it, they have just negated whatever they themselves claim to believe in. If they refuse to accept it, they have just declared that some value of their own is better than the other culture's - again negating their own multi-culturalism. The whole philosophy is self-contradictory.

So instead they play games of pretend. The "other" must really want and value the same things as they do, freedom for the oppressed, social equality, etc. That way they are off the hook.

I agree, it makes their arguments stupid beyond belief. How many times in the last three years have we heard some leftist arguing as if Osama bin Laden was a fellow leftist too?
